Don't think the intention was exactly to kill everyone. Think it was to probe for weaknesses. But I can't be sure of that.
[It would be easier to take over the ship if everyone on it was dead, wouldn't it? No difficulty with replacing the old guard? Garrus wonders if maybe they had all been supposed to die. Honey hadn't exactly tried to make friends.]
most of the people i trust enough to ask are too new for that whole incident and other than that there's just the file on the network.

there's not much info, but it's weird that they left even that little bit laying around. woulda been easy to remove completely.
[It's not like the CDC has any qualms about keeping them completely in the dark. If the information was need-to-know, it followed that there would probably be more than a name...but if they didn't want them to know at all than why even leave that crumb? It's hard to say if it's sloppy, or cunning.]
[The IPS could be a scapegoat. Or it could be something to pin recruit's hopes on, to see as a sign that not all struggle is futile, and keep them distracted.]

If you do get anything else I'd love to hear it. But I really don't think there's a lot out there.

It would be. They decided not to.

you're probably right about that. CDC keeps things pretty well locked down. but if I do learn anything, I'll let you know.

and thanks for the info about the nanobugs...that's more than anyone else was able to put together. or, at least anyone I talked to.

Just happened to have a piece of the puzzle that wasn't common knowledge. Tried to make it common knowledge, but that didn't exactly catch on.

We need more people talking around here. Though nanobugs. I like that name for them.
